Okay, so I had one of the best burgers I've ever had on Saturday. Chris took the perfectly seasoned patty, dipped it in bacon grease (we were having bacon cheeseburgers) and then threw it on the grill. He claimed that it helped keep the patties from sticking. What it ended up doing is imbuing the burger with a lovely piggy flavor.

Add to that tomatoes straight from my dad's garden? Holy smokes!

Mom used to make "Mock Steaks". Take burger and wrap filet-mignon-style [with bacon] and broil.

They are tasty as 'eck. No bread or condiments necessary, IMHO.

ETA: teh bacons

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Oh my...

Reminds me of the part in one of the Little House books where Ma lays slices of bacon over the rabbit she is roasting...and everyone raves...she said:

"Hunger is the best sauce".

I need to plant tomatoes....Gingi and I both love 'em, but we rarely buy them cuz it's just the two of us who will eat them. I could make my own salsa, sauces, and slice 'em for burgers and salads...or just eat 'em with salt.

*can you tell I'm hungry now?*
